Preparation Steps:

Tajeen El Roz El Moammar


  1. Grease the Baking Dish:
    Lightly grease a baking dish or casserole (tajeen) with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.

  2. Wash the Rice:
    Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water, then spread it evenly in the greased baking dish.

  3. Add Milk and Seasonings:
    Pour the cold milk over the rice in the baking dish. Add a pinch of salt and sugar, then mix everything together until well combined.

  4. Add Yogurt and Cream:
    Evenly spread the yogurt over the top of the rice mixture, then add dollops of cream on the surface.

  5. Let the Rice Soak:
    Allow the rice to soak in the mixture for about an hour so it can absorb the flavors and liquid.

  6. Bake in the Oven:
    Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and place the baking dish on the lower rack. Bake until the rice is cooked through and the bottom has set.

  7. Brown the Top:
    Once the rice is cooked, increase the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and move the dish to the middle rack. Let it bake until the top turns a beautiful golden brown.

  8. Serve and Enjoy:
    Remove the casserole from the oven once it’s beautifully browned and set. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy this delicious and comforting Tajeen El Roz El Moammar as a main dish or a side. Bon appétit!
